  1. Firmware for HP 255 G7 Notebook


    I keep getting a prompt to restart my HP 255 G7 Notebook because it has an available firmware update.

    So I restarted it, I go to Device Manager and it has a tick next to the firmware saying the following:

    Firmware for HP 255 G7 Notebook [​IMG]


    Do I need to update the firmware or what do I need to do?

    Is this has to do with my SSD, I upgraded it to a bigger capacity SSD of 500 GB from Crucial.

    I hope y'all can help!

    Windows 10 Version 20H2

    SSD Upgrade Question regarding HP 255 G7 Laptop

    I'm a little confused. According to the spec: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product...c06194380#AbT5 I'd assume that the laptop can use either SATA or NVME M.2 drives.

    The drive that you list is a SATA one.

    The only M.2 drives that Crucial offers for the HP 255 G7 are SATA. Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | hp - compaq | hp business notebooks | HP 255 G7 (AMD Ryzen) | Crucial.com

    An NVME PCI-E X4 drive would be preferred for best performance. I'm a little worried that Crucial doesn't offer any NVME drives.

  3. SSD Upgrade Question regarding HP 255 G7 Laptop

    This spec is from Rich's post #2 and indicates an NVMe capability.

    And from the comments section below this YouTube, it is suggested that if it has an OEM SSD, it will have an M2 slot that accepts a sata or NVMe SSD.
